You have missed the point.  Pardon me if I was unclear.

The poster I responded to advised Primenet to cancel Charlie's account.  
I replied with the four lines above, describing what could happen if 
that occurred.  I did not claim that Primenet has canceled accounts.  
(I have no idea if they ever have.)  I also did not threaten a bad 
publicity campaign against Primenet if they do cancel Charlie's account.  
I merely discussed a possible repercussion that the previous poster 
either did not consider or does not care about.

Good.
